AS the question of Democratic
frauds in popular elections is to be
one of the important questions to be
decided in the next national election,
and as the purity Of the ballot box is
the only safety in a Republic, that
the people may have a little knowl-
edge of the way votes are counted in
the Democratic county of Wayne, in
the State Of Michigan, we append
the following report from the Judi
ciary committee Of the State Senate
submitted on Thursday the a7th ult.,
in the contested election in the first
senatorial district. and ask that it be
carefully filed away for future refer
renee. 1t was as follows:
The committee on Judiciary to
whom was referred the memorial of
John Rairden, contestant, against
John +. Gudenau, contestee, respect
fully report: That they have had the
matter under consideration. and by
unanimous vote of said committee,
find the following facts:
Ist. That contestant, John Rairden,
and contestee, John L. Gudenau,
were opposing candidates for the
office of Senator in the State legisla-
ture' from the first senatorial district
in the State of Michigan, at the cleo
ton held therein on November 2,
1886.
I'D. That contestant Rairden, as
shown by the returns of said first
senatorial district, received a total
vote of 4,634, and contestee Gudenau
received q total vote of 4,674, giving
a majority for contestee Gudenau OF
40 votes.
I'D. That contestant Rairden, by
his memorial and protest, raised an
issue and charged error in three vot-
ing districts in said first senatorial
district, viz: The first voting district
of the 9th ward, the fourth voting
district of the 9th ward, and the sec
ond voting district Of the 9TH ward,
all in the city of Detroit, Michigan.
4th. That the returns from said
three voting districts credited votes
to contestant and contestee, as fol-
lows, viz: The first district Of the
9th ward, as shown by the returns,
gave John Rairden ao7 votes, and
John f. Gudenau $40 votes; the
fourth district of the 9th ward, as
shown by the returns, gave John
Rairden I7s votes, and John +. Gud-
enau r76 votes; the I'd district of the

BAKING POWDERS.
Report of the Ohio Food Com
mission.
Analysis of the Chief Brands Sold
in the West
Their Strength and Value Officially
Ascertained.
A Large Number Impure and Un-
wholesome.

The Ohio State Dairy and Food
Commissioner, General S. II. Hurst,
has made public circular No. 81 the
results of the Commissions investiga-
ton of baking powder. This commits
sion was formed by the legislature,
with instructions to make an examin-
alton of the food supply of the state,
and to give report of such examina-
ton to the public. The examination
of the baking powders was made by
Professor H. a. Weber, State Chemist,
and, relating as it does to an article
OF daily use in the food of almost every
one is of particular interest.
The rather startling fact is brought
out by the report that of the thirty
analysed, composing about all those
sold in the state, twenty of them are
made from alum, substance declared
by the highest medical authorities to
be injurious to health when used in
food.
The commissioner Classics the
baking powders into three general
divisions, according to their value;
ders:
I'd. Phosphate Baking Powders;
Sd. Alum Baking Powders.
The object of baking is, when mixed
in the flour and subjected TO moisture,
to generate a leavening gas in the
dough, which will raise the bread and
cause it to be porous and light. The
commissioner explains that the best
baking powder is that which, the in
gradients being healthful. gives OFF the
| largest amount of residuum in the
bread. A small amount of carbonate
of ammonia, which is considered
healthful. is used in some of the cream
of tartar powders to give them high
er strength. The commission say that
pure alum is undoubtedly a hurtful
salt, and that the resultant salts from
its combination with soda as formed in
the bread, can scarcely be lest hurtful.
The report ranks the powders and
shows the amount in each of inert re-
suItants, which in using it would ap
pear as residuum in the bread, as fol-
| lows:

THE PROHIBITION VOTE INNEW
YORK.

That the third party movement in
the east, and more especially in New
York, has become factor in national
politics that is not likely to be soon dis
posed Of is beyond dispute. That pro-
hibition is the coming question in poll
tics, on which issue alone every voter
in the country will soon take one side
or the other, is to-day believed by
many. The exact vote given for the
prohibition ticket in the state of New
York has not yet been made public.
The report is, however, that it will ex-
coed 10000. This, says the Globe-Dem-
ocrat, would be an increase of coo
over the vote pOlled by that party last
year. The rapid and continuous gains
made by the prohibitionists in the past
few years in New York has been
among the most marked and striking
political phenomena Of the time. The
following shows the vote given for the
state ticket of that party in that state
since 1881, the total for 1887, being esti-
mated:

III the growth or the proh1bitionist
party should continue in the immedi-
ate future in the ratio shown in the past
three or four years, its vote in New
York in the next presidential canvass
would fall but little short of $4,000 or
$4,000. OF course, with prohibition
vote of such proportions heavy re-
publican majority in the state, under
ordinary conditions, could hardly be
expected. But, as previously intimat-
ed by the Globe-Democrat, the repub-
licans have it in their power to make
the prohibitionists, as a political fac
tor, as harmless as the greenbackers.
The republican majority in the upper
branch of the legislature is eight and
in the lower branch about nineteen
This gives them the power to pass a
high-license bill, which would divert
all the sensible, consistent temperance
men from the prohibitionist organiza.
ton and send them back to their old
place in the republican party.

If the fool-killer ever gets down in
Georgia the author of the article below
will have to hunt his hole or get muir

type this is the worst. The author
shows his nature to be even too servile
to be classed as slave, and in his en-
deavors to cast shadow of cOnfeder-
acy over his own worthless carcass,
drags his wife and baby into play. 1t
is only too evident that no confederate
soldier ever wrote such fulsome nom
sense:
The five-year- old daughter of the ed
itor Of the Liberal is the happiest child

shaking hands with Jefferson Davis
and Miss Winnie. Her mother had
done many a hard days work sewing
for the confederate heroes who fought
our battles, and was determined that
her baby should see the man whom
those heroes loved. She was among
the first to reach the coach and held up
her little girl to the window where he
sat. Both he and Miss Winnie clasped
the little hand and shook it tenderly.
We love to kiss that hand now better
than ever before.-Cuthbert Liberal.

Indiana, which went for Cleveland in
1884, elected the republican ticket IN
the state election last year. New Jer-
sey, which also contributed to Cieve-
lands election before, has now gone
republican. If these two states are re-
publican next year, where Ii Mr..
Cleveland's vote TO come from, even
South? -Republica
If Indiana and New Jersey both cast
their votes for the republican ticket,
and all the other northern states usu-
ally counted republican, then the solid
south, with Connecticut, Delaware and
New York, will only have 1876 electoral
votes in all for the democracy, while
the republicans will have 206, a major
ity of IL, not taking into consideration
the votes Of any new state which may
be taken into the union in the mean
time.
But these states cannot be counted or
to go the way indicated. All are classed
in the doubtful list. And to these may
be added several more. In 1885 Color
ado only gave a plurality for the repub
lican ticket Of 500 votes. Indiana die
not give a republican majority-only [
plurality of 1924. Nevaaa's republi
can plurality was only 500, while New
Hampshire. cut down to 481, ant
and California, with 8 electoral votes
went democratic last year by 652, ant
New Jersey herself last year gave
plurality of 5000 for the democracy.
So the above inquiry of the Repubi
can be answered by simply statinI
that ''if'' Indiana and New Jersey g
republican, California is just as ikel
to go democratic, in which case tn
electoral vote would stand 1913 republi
can and 203 democratic-not to spea
of the other more than doubtful states

THE statement is repeatedly made
that American manufactures are taken
to England and there sold for less than
we have to pay for them in this coun-
try and that they are able to compete
with English manufactures. This is
thought by free-traders to be a conclu-
sive argument against protection. The
Kansas Farmer, whose editor is one of
the best informed men in Kansas on
the tariff question, asserts that no
American manufacture is sold in Eng
land at less price than it is in this
country unless it be some article that
has a patent in the United States. In
that case it is the patent and not the
tariff that makes the high price in
this country.

The large amount of inert matter or
residuum in both the phosphate and
alum powders will be noted. This in
the phosphate powders is largely of
lime; in the alum powders it is chiefly
alum. 1t will be gratifying to the
public to observe that the powder in
most general use, the Royal, is also the
purest. In comparing the first two
powders on the list, for instance-the
Royal and DIR. Price's-the inert
matter in Prices is seen to be about
five in seven more than in the former,
difference of II 81 per cent, the
Royal being purer than Prices by a
corresponding figure.
The carbonic orlleavening gas pro-
duced by the powders indicates
their strength; and their true value
may be ascertained by considering the
amount of this gas in connection with
their inert matter or residuum al
shown above. The higher the per-
centage of gas and the lower the per-
centage of residuum the better the
baking powder. These percentages,
as found in some of the most familiar
DOWderS are given as follows:
